ADHD in Adults, Part II: Impairments in Major Life Activities

Lecture Description

Why is ADHD one of the most impairing outpatient problems in mental health? Dr. Barkley addresses the impairing nature of ADHD at work, school and interpersonally. He also discusses other areas of impairment less well known as being associated with ADHD, such as money management, driving, and physical health. He goes in to great detail on important research findings such as those from the UMASS study of adults with ADHD; one of the largest studies of impairment in clinically referred adults conducted to date.
